Non-parity RAM may be 70 nsec, but parity checking is thereby disabled for all RAM banks, even those which are parity, if just one non-parity stick is installed. A very few 128 MB non-parity RAM sticks will work in an ANS, but most (99.44 percent) won't (gets a POST error on power-on restart). There are no 128 MB parity RAM sticks, AFAIK. All ANS RAM must be FPM. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
